Tnon petitions of the citizens of
rr,,IaTe and Fresno Counties in Califor-
ma 10 the Department Of Justice, ask
mo that suits be instituted by the gov
eminent TO test the title Of theSouthern
Pacific Railroad Company to certain
lands in those counties, on the ground
that fbe road was not built on the line
designated by the state charter to said
comDany. and that the lands were set
tied upon prior to the issue OF patents
TO the railroad company,
LAND COMMISSIONER SPARKS
has reported that the grant by Congress
was not for the charter line under the
California act, but for line to be desig-
mated, as provided by the act of Con-
gress making the grant, and that the
right Of settlers, was determined by the
date when the railroad grant took effect
upon the lands, and not the dates when
the patents we're issued to the COM
pany. He says no cause exists for the
suits asked, and recommends that the
applications be denied.

tute civil suit against Muckle Bros,
